According to a report in the WSJ, Qualcomm, now embroiled in a number of lawsuits with Apple, is apparently about to receive an unsolicited takeover bid from semiconductor designer Broadcom. Shares are down almost 16% this year due to legal battles with Apple and the loss of royalties from Apple and an unnamed second licensee.

According to Bloomberg, Broadcom is now in talks with advisers on how to best approach the potential bid, which is likely to be made official in the next few days.

Broadcom, which has a market value of $110 billion, just announced on Thursday that it's moving its headquarters to the U.S. from Singapore.

Broadcom was created previous year when Tan's Avago Technologies Ltd. bought Irvine-based chipmaker Broadcom Corp. for $37 billion and then adopted the Broadcom name for the combined company. The company already lists San Jose, California, as a corporate co-headquarters.

Most recently, Qualcomm filed yet another lawsuit against Apple, with the chipmaker accusing the iPhone maker of breaching a software license contract.

Nadal seals fourth year-end No.1 rankingAs stated in the Twitter account of the Masters 1000 of Paris, it is the fourth time that the Spanish achieves such a performance. In the race to join Nadal and Zverev at the ATP Finals in London, there were valuable victories for Lucas Pouille and John Isner.

"Maybe they have a better relationship with Apple, maybe they settle", Rasgon said.

The proposal raises questions about whether Qualcomm will close its pending $38-billion acquisition of NXP Semiconductors NV. The deal is facing regulatory examination in Europe and opposition from some shareholders including activist hedge fund firm Elliott Management Corp., which has argued the offer undervalues NXP.

That would give it control of a big part of the supply chain of vital phone components such as wi-fi and cellular modem chips.
